How to calculate after-tax household income

For the purposes of this program, after-tax income is calculated as follows:

• Refer to your 2023 income tax return, line 23600 (net income) and subtract line 43500 (total taxes payable).
• If you have a spouse (or common-law partner), do the same calculation for your spouse using their tax return.
• Next, add your after-tax income with the after-tax income of your spouse or common-law partner to determine your household after-tax income.
• Then compare your after-tax household income to the applicable amount in the table above.

How to read the table

• Calculate your after-tax household income.
• Find your province in the top row.
• Find your household size in the first column (this includes you as the applicant, your spouse or common-law partner, if applicable, and any dependants supported by household income).
• Look for the box in the table where your province and household size meet; this is your household after-tax income limit (maximum amount for program eligibility).

Eligible

• If your after-tax household income is equal to or less than the after-tax median income applicable to your province and household size, you are eligible to apply for the Oil to Heat Pump Affordability program.

Not eligible

• If your after-tax household income is more than the after-tax median income applicable to your province and household size, you are not eligible for the Oil to Heat Pump Affordability program.
• You may want to consider applying for the Canada Greener Homes Loan or other financial incentives being currently offered.
